2014 NBA playoffs - 2nd Round, Game 2 - Blazers @ Spurs

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao You Spurs fans. You'd only be happy if we won by 25+ every game. Get a grip. This isn't a bad team we're playing.

[DPG21920]

Fantastic job, Manu!!! That's what I'm talking about.

[smaka]

Manu flopping it home :lol

[100%duncan]

Don't worry Matthews, you are winning the 2nd half.

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI

3333333333333!

[KaiRMD1]

Jon Barry sounds so pissed agreeing with that call :lmao

[BatManu20]

Thank you Kawhi.

[ElNono]

eff yeah

[Budkin]

Just get the fucking win Spurs that's all that matters right now. Pop will rip your soft asses either way.

[spurspokesman]

Kawhi coming of age

[TheGoldStandard]

and Leonard comes up clutch.. guess pop will bench him now

[TE]

Leonard 3

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is not passing :lol He's like, I only get about 10 touches and I'm taking my shots.

[RD2191]

Kawhi saving the day once again yet the team keeps ignoring him and Pop won't play him.

[Rummpd]

3 why does Leonard ever come out = play him 40+ minutes

[Uriel]

Dagger.

[Jdspur20]

:lmao You Spurs fans. You'd only be happy if we won by 25+ every game. Get a grip. This isn't a bad team we're playing.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard of course.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi tbh. Not rocket science. He's killing Portland.

[Budkin]

Kawhi is the real fucking deal bitches.

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi the dagger.

Get real people. This game wasn't close. Portland shot 78% in the 4th and couldn't get it closer than 8.

Spurs in 5, perhaps a sweep incoming.

[TDfan2007]

Someone finally gives Kawhi the ball...

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi! Just FEED THE FUCKING HOT HAND and it's ball game! Is that so fucking hard against this defense?

[smaka]

Why does Kawhi have only 9 fga???

[ElNono]

all about making open shots... :hat

[KaiRMD1]

Kawhi's 3 point shooting has been on fire these playoffs

[mclinejr]

I love it when Leonard takes that corner 3.

[Captivus]

The Savior!

[Texas_Ranger]

wow, they noticed Kawhi was in the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hater]

game

[spurspokesman]

:lmao You Spurs fans. You'd only be happy if we won by 25+ every game. Get a grip. This isn't a bad team we're playing.

Here comes Marco for some reason

[100%duncan]

:lmao You Spurs fans. You'd only be happy if we won by 25+ every game. Get a grip. This isn't a bad team we're playing.

Makes you wish for death once in a while.

[RD2191]

Here comes Marco for some reason
:lol

[servalli]

:ihit

[RD2191]

Makes you wish for death once in a while.
You can do it. We believe in you.

[mclinejr]

Kawhi the dagger.

Get real people. This game wasn't close. Portland shot 78% in the 4th and couldn't get it closer than 8.

Spurs in 5, perhaps a sweep incoming.

:flag:

[raybies]

big game Leonard tbh

[spursfan1000]

This place has gone downhill in the last couple of years, that's why I don't come in here very often - basically just during the playoffs.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi the dagger.

Get real people. This game wasn't close. Portland shot 78% in the 4th and couldn't get it closer than 8.

Spurs in 5, perhaps a sweep incoming.

We won't win both games at their place. I think we split though.

[capek]

Maybe Pop's technique to rein Kawhi into playing just a part in the system for the span of the regular season wasn't such a questionable call after all. The dude is unleashed and unstoppable!!!

[PingPong]

Aldridge 6-22.

:D

[Fireball]

really Pop ... all this would not have been necessary if he had put in Kawhi earlier ... I can understand when he is not playing him 40 minutes if his offense is off, but in a game like this just ignore the three fouls and play the guy

[benfti]

im still staggered at the existence of a chocolate gun.

[Nathan89]

This push by the Blazers is only going to make the Spurs more ready for the next game tbh

[RD2191]

Aldridge 6-22.

:D
And the game is still close. We're screwed if he starts hitting.

[100%duncan]

You can do it. We believe in you.

I was actually wishing for deaths on posters like you tbh :lol

Sorry in advance.

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi the dagger.

Get real people. This game wasn't close. Portland shot 78% in the 4th and couldn't get it closer than 8.

Spurs in 5, perhaps a sweep incoming.

I know we're playing a good team but this should've ended a long time ago with The Big 3 resting the last quarter.

[jiggy_55]

Kawhi's 3 point shooting has been on fire these playoffs
You're kidding right? He was shooting about 30% before tonight. He was poor against Dallas and even in game 1 against Portland.

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU

3333333333!

[itzsoweezee]

Someone finally gives Kawhi the ball...

For real. There was some freeze out going on there.

[ElNono]

dagger x2

[313]

Manuuuuu

[RD2191]

Manu I never doubted you unlike Nono.

[spurspokesman]

manu balling

[KaiRMD1]

Ouch

[mclinejr]

Ginobli dagger!

[milkyway21]

Kawhi :tu

[BatManu20]

Manuuuu

[100%duncan]

GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Beaverfuzz]

Look at that balance. Seven Spurs in double figures. Love it.

[Raven]

all our team statpadding their stats so badly against this shitty team :lol

[Crookshanks]

And Manu says a big screw you to all you haters!

[DPG21920]

"Ginobili for 3333333333. Goodnight Portland".

I've also noticed this series, LA does not like going baseline. Tiago has studied this and is really almost overplaying the turn over his left shoulder into the paint.

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice steal Kiwi.

[Cry Havoc]

I know we're playing a good team but this should've ended a long time ago with The Big 3 resting the last quarter.

Again. The playoffs. These aren't regular season teams. The Blazers aren't even supposed to be here, but they thrashed a team that everyone on this forum was scared of 2 months ago.

Playoffs. These games count. Portland played a near perfect 4th quarter and they're going to get blown out. That's a pretty fucking solid win.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi is a monster

[SupremeGuy]

I can't tell who's worse: the people bitching or the people bitching about other people bitching, tbh.

[313]

Kawhi didn't wanna give the ball up lmao

[Beaverfuzz]

"Ginobili for 3333333333. Goodnight Portland".

Aldridge doesn't have that post-up game yet...it's getting better but it still stinks. That's one big reason Portland hasn't gone anywhere.

[Cry Havoc]

Cue the "we only won by almost 20, we gave 'em a lot of confidence" circlejerk led by robdiaz & co.

[KaiRMD1]

You're kidding right? He was shooting about 30% before tonight. He was poor against Dallas and even in game 1 against Portland.

/sarcasm

[DPG21920]

Just an impressive win. There were some up's and down's in the 2nd half, but two dominating wire to wire finishes :tu Just fantastic to watch.

[loveforthegame]

Kawhi is a monster

[mclinejr]

Spurs headed to "rip city" to "rip" Portland a new asshole. :flag:

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi is fucking Galactus. He's the fucking eater of souls. It's got to be so fucking shitty knowing Kawhi is going to guard you all game.

[Crookshanks]

Portland put up a fight, but I don't think they're really a threat. They may win one game in Portland, but the Spurs are just too good.

[KaiRMD1]

Ayres is in, we're gonna lose

[SpurPadre]

I hear ya man. I expect Game 3 to be tough but have to like our chances.

[DPG21920]

Aldridge doesn't have that post-up game yet...it's getting better but it still stinks. That's one big reason Portland hasn't gone anywhere.

He's been money all year on that little turn around though, but looks like he HATES turning over his right shoulder base line. He's much better facing up, I agree, but he's still damn good at turning over his left shoulder.

[Jdspur20]

So, why did we not see Baynes earlier in this game?

[loveforthegame]

Kawhi didn't wanna give the ball up lmao

Made me laugh too. Can't blame him though. :lol

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is fucking Galactus. He's the fucking eater of souls. It's got to be so fucking shitty knowing Kawhi is going to guard you all game.

:lol

[100%duncan]

Funny how posters think that a team in the 2nd round will just bend over to the Spurs after getting their asses kicked in the 1st half.

[EVAY]

I can't tell who's worse: the people bitching or the people bitching about other people bitching, tbh.

:lol

[ElNono]

solid win :flag:

[Beaverfuzz]

Nice rebound and put back Pendergraph!

[DPG21920]

Look at OKC, look at INDY and look at the first round. Holding home court has not been easy so going 2-0 is massive. Spurs have a winning formula right now and as long as they don't turn it over too much and rebound they should at least be in every game on the road.

[TheGoldStandard]

Errors with the put back.. lol Portland sucks hard

[Crookshanks]

Spurs are just a dominant team. They had a crappy 3rd quarter, but they kept playing their game and this ended up being another blow out.

[Beaverfuzz]

Only lost two points from the halftime lead.

THAT IS HOW YOU WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS!

[313]

MvpAyers

[timtonymanu]

Going to miss Game 3, so it's great we are up 2-0.

[SPURSCHAMP]

So, why did we not see Baynes earlier in this game?
CIA Pop trying to resign him for cheap this summer tbh

[spurspokesman]

Spurs win

[Captivus]

HUGE WIN

[smaka]

Good game. Now let's get at least one on the road, and finish in Game 4/5

[spurspokesman]

Gonna be tough in Portland

[BigTDoe]

Has Bill Simmons apologized yet for saying Splitter was one of the worst contracts last yer?

[Mugen]

Spurs win!

[Captivus]

Good game, good night!

[Josh810]

Cue the "we only won by almost 20, we gave 'em a lot of confidence" circlejerk led by robdiaz & co.

[EVAY]

Parker and all the spurs are so great at those interviews…"they are a great team…they have a great arena and a great crowd…"

So disciplined to never give up any locker room bulletin board material.

[jag]

Keith Olbermann is unbearable

[Uriel]

Great win. :tu Hopefully we can steal at least one game over there. I could definitely see the Spurs losing Games 3 and 4, a la 2012 WCF.

[look_at_g_shred]

Heather cox... Would leave pussy juice on mustache all day.

[milkyway21]

Kawhi 28 min , 20 pts, 5 rbds, 4-4 FT, 2 stls, 2 blks.
:clap

[Cry Havoc]

Game 3 is the only game that concerns me. We win either 3 and 4, or 4 and 5. Portland only gets 2 home games this series.

[Beaverfuzz]

One key stat, Thomas Robinson was a +10 for the Blazers tonight...Stotts may want to use him a little more.

[BillMc]

Tiago has been a monster on LA.

[mVp]

This should be over in 5, if we steal one over there they're done.

[Fireball]

Of course it will be more tough in Portland, but for such an inexperienced team being down 0-2 there already is a little more pressure on every shot they take - open or not ... we can take a game there ...

[Beaverfuzz]

So, why did we not see Baynes earlier in this game?


Because Tim, Boris, and Tiago didn't have a lot of foul trouble.

[EVAY]

Game 3 is the only game that concerns me. We win either 3 and 4, or 4 and 5. Portland only gets 2 home games this series.

That is how I see it right now, too. I hope we don't let down too much. My guess is that their best chance is gonna be game 3.

[jiggy_55]

Somebody tell Pop that Kawhi needs to be fucking leading this team in minutes! 28? When he was on fire all game. That's just sad even if it was a blowout most of the night. Parker and Duncan played 35+ and on fire kawhi (who wasn't even in foul trouble when pop removed him) plays 28mpg.

[SupremeGuy]

Keith Olbermann is unbearableAgreed. Does anyone even watch his show?

[milkyway21]

He was yanjed out after his 3rd foul.

28 min 8-9 FG :tu

[tomati]

10 more

[SpurPadre]

Parker and all the spurs are so great at those interviews…"they are a great team…they have a great arena and a great crowd…"

Uh, he's done it in the past. Last year, he wouldn't shut up post games wondering why the Heat left DG wide open, especially after Game 5, and then look how Danny played right after.

[SpurPadre]

Keith Olbermann is unbearable

Different strokes...I love the guy but I'm a hardcore liberal.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Still say the Blazers cannot defend us. I see Blazers going crazy on jumpers and getting one at home but that is about it.

[SpurPadre]

From the looks of these posts, it seems no one thinks we can sweep Portland.

[mVp]

From the looks of these posts, it seems no one thinks we can sweep Portland.

I predicted a sweep against Dallas, I'm not making that mistake again :lol

[SpurPadre]

I predicted a sweep against Dallas, I'm not making that mistake again :lol

LOL, good call, then!

[Horry Hipcheck]

From the looks of these posts, it seems no one thinks we can sweep Portland.

Totally can. But won't. Blazers take Game 3.

[heyheymymy]

Kawhi 28 min , 20 pts, 5 rbds, 4-4 FT, 2 stls, 2 blks.
:clap

4-4 3PM-A you mean. he had an incredible night.:tu

[milkyway21]

4-4 3PM-A you mean. he had an incredible night.:tu

Yap 4-4 3ptrs

[jiggy_55]

He was yanjed out after his 3rd foul.

28 min 8-9 FG :tu

3rd foul in the 3rd quarter is not considered foul trouble. And pop put him on the bench most of the third and fourth. No reason to do that, he should be playing 35-40mpg. Or else his stamina is gonna be low if we end up facing Durant or Lebron.

[sook]

Good God who is that girl in your posts?

lilli simmons. Fap away my friehdn.

[TampaDude]

Easy win...now let's steal one in Portland!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[EVAY]

Uh, he's done it in the past. Last year, he wouldn't shut up post games wondering why the Heat left DG wide open, especially after Game 5, and then look how Danny played right after.

They started defending Green. If you think that is only because Parker said "I can't believe they are leaving him open, then you are a bit naive about how much EVERYBODY in the basketball world was saying the same thing.

[SpurAddict561]

Nice to see Danny Green with a shot off the dribble.

The Dallas series really has this team clicking, that and the great match ups we have vs Portland.

Kawow!

[boutons_deux]

Spurs' best NBA road record, by 5W ahead of OKC, better hold up for a sweep of the demoralized Blazers, but Blazers are only 1 W behind Spurs in home record.

[look_at_g_shred]

This should be over in 5, if we steal one over there they're done.

[SpurPadre]

They started defending Green. If you think that is only because Parker said "I can't believe they are leaving him open, then you are a bit naive about how much EVERYBODY in the basketball world was saying the same thing.

I'm aware everyone was saying that but I'm sure the Heat were embarassed that even Parker felt the need to voice that out after freaking Game 5 on multiple interviews.
